Vertical Files and Topic Guides

Vertical Files: The library maintains numerous vertical files designed to assist students conducting research in specific areas. These files contain newspaper and magazine clippings. Several of these files also contain a paper copy of the topic guide. Vertical files are housed in the library filing cabinets.

Topic Guides: Topic Guides contain a record of library books and videos pertaining to the specific topic, a list of relevant web sites, and suggestions for conducting research through EBSCO and Infotrac. These guides can be located in the Handout folder on the Network Drive. They can be printed, saved to your H drive or USB flash drive, or sent to your email account. As some of the guides are quite lengthy, and for environmental concerns, I suggest you save the document and work from an electronic, rather than a print source.
